Coaching Skills for Academic Leaders

Researchers often find themselves in a sandwich position, a situation marked by conflicting demands from their superiors and from their direct reports. They are required to delegate effectively, yet at the same time to support the development of their reports, while giving them responsibility and holding them accountable.

Coaching offers a proven way to communicate that inspires and empowers people. In this workshop young professionals will get into the coaching mindset, learn about and use practical coaching tools. They will leave the workshop ready to have coaching conversations with colleagues and employees.

In particular you will

• get to know and practice eight key coaching skills that will transform and enhance the way you communicate
• learn how to motivate and empower employees and colleagues
• discover a powerful method to help people think outside the box, find solutions and get unstuck
• use the Coaching Superpowers Compass to enrol and influence others in service of a common objective
• practice coaching and receive personal feedback from workshop co-leaders and peers.
